The Iconic Shredded Painting 🤯 (explained)

Back in 2018, Banksy shredded his own painting "Girl with Balloon" during a live auction at Sotheby's just after the gavel came down, selling it for $1.4 million.

Imagine paying millions just to watch it self-destruct. Peak performance art or peak FOMO? 😂

Pure money laundering slop

I will never under why the painting went up in value. It was destroyed.

No wonder. Banksy's art pieces are better when they're shredded, preferably to even smaller bits.

banksy vs capitalism

Thankyou Zack, for reminding me about this. Though I was on internet explorer for a second

“Blades sharp as razors” …so blades

Art that interrogates the concepts of value and expression.

wtf
